STYLISH GUYS IN GRAPHIC T-SHIRTS

By Lakeisha Goedluck, April 29, 2018

When it heats up, you can always rely on the humble T-shirt to get you through the spring/summer season. But if you’re tired of your stripped-back options, why not flavor your ’fits with a graphic-print version instead? From striking logos to bold lettering, see how these street stylers are rocking their standout tees for SS18.

By now, you’ve probably got a healthy supply of plain white T-shirts. So, if you’re game to start playing around with prints, go for a white tee with an eye-catching middle-of-the-chest logo. To style his, this guy’s wisely gone for a refined, minimal aesthetic. He pairs his chilled T-shirt with a pair of grandad-inspired gray slacks and clean kicks. Notice how his navy cap echoes the print on his tee while his belt matches the backpack casually slung over his shoulder.

When it comes to spring steez, you can’t go wrong with a short-sleeved shirt. This fella starts off his ’fit with a white tee complete with Cyrillic lettering before layering a burgundy-colored relaxed shirt over the top to add a casual-cool vibe to his look. On his bottom half, he opts for raw-hem black jeans and a pair of much-hyped Balenciaga Speed sneakers (the predecessor of the Triple S). To finish, he pops on all-black shades. So slick.

An important style lesson to learn here is that if you’re T-shirt is especially flamboyant, feel free to choose laid-back cuts to go with it. Breaking away from the sartorial status quo, this dude's chosen to sport a black graphic-print tee which he teams with minimal tracksuit bottoms. Accessories-wise, he injects some extra flavor — check out that oversized Y-3 tote bag and those SS18-ready sunglasses.

This street styler's look is proof that a printed tee can form the foundation of a smart get-up too, as he goes for a monochrome Loewe T-shirt which he pairs with a cool-gray heritage check suit. Notice how his accoutrements mirror the main colors of his ensemble — his leather boots, baseball cap and neckerchief all come in black while his ornate silver rings complement his suit nicely.

In terms of his ’fit, this guy’s gone for a cross between skater style and '90s-flavored streetwear. Up top he rocks an oversized Toki Sen-i Co., Ltd. T-shirt, while he opts for a slick pair of side-stripe joggers to go on his bottom half. A backwards cap and Converse sneakers in the same colorway as his trews finish off his aesthetic-crossing get-up.
